Sorry for the double-email, but I completely forgot about Safari.....
PowerMac G4 Graphite AGP (1GHz Sonnet Encore/ST Upgrade Processor, 1.5GB PC100 SDRAM, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, 40GB IDE): (Higher is better) Safari 4.1.3: *763* TenFourFox 4.0: *597* Camino 2.0.7: *256* Camino errored on an unresponsive Java script, but was able to continue. These aren't the best comparisons since Camino is based off of Firefox 3 while TenFourFox is based off of Firefox 4, however Camino was updated 2 days ago, so it will be a while to wait until both distributions can be compared to each other with the same Firefox rendering engine. The difference is significant though, TenFourFox scores much better, although not as well as Safari surprisingly. PowerBook G4 (667MHz PowerPC G4, 1GB PC133 SDRAM, ATI Rage M6, 45GB Laptop IDE): (Higher is better) Safari 4.1.3: *409* TenFourFox 4.0: *372* Camino: *165* TenFourFox repeated the same unresponsive Java script error while Camino didn't this time, but also was able to continue. Interestingly enough, the scores were much lower overall than the Graphite. While the bus speed is 33mhz faster, the slower hard drive and lesser video card seemed to have a pretty big impact in performance. Safari still scored the best out of the three, which was unexpected in both cases. Originally, I stated that TenFourFox is my new default, and it still is, but now I'm torn. Speed versus plug-in convenience... Mike On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 11:17 PM, Mike <mik...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you for reminding me about TenFourFox!
